Separately issued folding map of the Levant, showing Palestine, Jordan and Syria celebrating the foundation of the Arab Republic in Arabic script.

This map covers the Levant, showing Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. It celebrates the foundation of the United Arab Republic, a short lived political union between Egypt and Syria which was founded in 1958 and lasted until 1961 when Syria seceded due to a coup.

Geographically, the map highlights the a network of roads and rail but it does not show the state of Israel. An inset on the lower right shows the UAR in context to the wider region.

A mention must be made of the elegant and beautiful Arab script used throughout the map.
